Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

Unfortunately, the sound of shattering followed.

From the twilight sword that contains frost, fire, and thunder.

"It's no use, Mother. When the flames of Lunaria ignite, I am invincible!"

Beneath the earth's cover, countless metallic dust particles were extracted from the ground and adhered to the giant beast's body, forming layers of hard armor.

The Mighty Sword of Resounding Light struck the armor and dissipated. Sakura's tail pierced into the ground, drawing on the geothermal heat from beneath the island to ignite itself. It opened its mouth and fiercely bit at Sakura's arm.

Click!

Burning fangs pierced through the cherry blossoms, forming an invisible armor, causing Sakura's blood to splatter across the sky.

"Don't call me mother, and... in the end, I'm just a human being, no one has the ability to be absolutely invincible!"

Sakura snorted coldly, her right arm trembled slightly, and it was severed cleanly at the root out of thin air.

The demon's blood sprayed across the earth, but a new arm rapidly condensed and regenerated amidst the gushing blood.

The old, massive severed arm landed and immediately began to take root and sprout, giving rise to countless tough, giant wood-style vines.

As Sakura withdrew her sword and retreated, the vines multiplied and spread wildly, leaping up to entwine the giant beast's body and drain her life force.

Her Devil Fruit powers followed closely, overturning heat, transforming frost, and then effortlessly turning it into flames. The repeated alternation of hot and cold shattered the armor constructed of iron sand, and the runes of the sealing technique spread from the ice, permeating all parts of Sakura's body.

Under the control of this demon blood, ninjutsu and Devil Fruit abilities are perfectly combined, firmly imprisoning the giant beast in front of them.

"What amazing power! Is this why they longed for you and created me?"

Rissaku's face paled, and she stiffly turned her head. "However, you cannot capture me until you break my will."

"--Mother!!!"

Risaku roared to the sky, her voice like thunder, shaking the world.

A chaotic burst of lightning erupted from her body, like a thunderstorm in a storm cloud, with hundreds of scorching arcs of electricity lashing out in all directions.

The colossal beast, imbued with a domineering aura, roared and shook, utterly destroying all the sealing runes wrapped around her body.

"So, you do have Conqueror's Haki too?" Sakura's eyes narrowed. "And don't call me 'Mother'!!!"

The burning will transformed into blazing light and rose up, the aura of the overlord solidified, and a magnificent and boundless thunderous storm was unleashed.

Centered on the point where their Conqueror's Haki clashed, a dazzling illusory light seemed to emerge from the void, and the world roared as it tore apart into blue and red parts.

Amidst the earth-shaking conflict, a powerful will bombarded every inch of space, causing all the bystanders remaining there to begin to teeter on the brink of collapse.

In the distance, Somaz and Gillinggom, who were elegantly sipping their afternoon tea, suddenly froze, their bodies stiffening and their faces turning pale.

Wait, why are they coming for us?

Click!

The territory defined by the overlord could not tolerate such petty scoundrels. The unbridled will rushed towards the two, blowing them away to a more distant place.

"Hmph, that annoying fellow has finally retreated!"

Riyo glanced expressionlessly at the pentagram on the ground, still burning with black flames, and snorted coldly.

Immediately afterwards, amidst the howling wind, the giant beast slithered into the ground as if swimming, rushing toward Sakura with ferocious killing intent.

Almost instinctively, Sakura raised the newly formed Twilight Sword, wrapped it around Ryuo Sakura, and slashed straight behind her.

when--!

The sharp teeth collided with the greatsword with a deafening roar, and the ground shattered as a burst of eerie light erupted.

Having transformed into a giant beast, Ryouka showed no restraint, opening her mouth to chew and swallow the thunder, storm, frost, and flames along with Sakura's Ryuo.

His eyes revealed a look of dissatisfaction, as if mockingly asking – Is there anything else?

"A troublesome mythical beast!"

Sakura's right hand flowed with Armament Haki, and as her boiling chakra gathered, the technique extended runes in the void, tearing open a spacetime rift large enough to accommodate her fist.

—Flying Thunder God: Lightning Guide!

The five fingers of his right hand, which had pierced through the tear, suddenly contracted, and he threw a powerful punch.

With the support of overwhelming power, it tore open the armor on the back of the giant beast, and the flowing power seeped into Sakura's skin, wreaking havoc inside.

However, orange flames reignited behind Sakura, multiplying her defense and resistance several times over, and her body expanded to deflect Sakura's fist.

"It's no use. Your domineering aura can't break through the barriers of this race and ability." The giant beast bit Sakura's arm, its eyes narrowing greedily. "Let me plunder you completely, and then we'll return together to the embrace of the gods, Mother!"

Resentment, distortion, madness, and excitement mingled together into an unknown chaos.

In the end, what appeared on Ri-Sakura's ferocious face was actually a trace of... infatuation!

It was a deep fascination with the unfulfilled warmth of blood relatives that arose from growing up in a cold petri dish as a child and acquiring complete humanity under the common sense instilled by Vegapunk.

"God? Race? Ability?" Sakura's expression gradually darkened, and the atmosphere of the entire sea seemed to rage under her thoughts. "Since you like calling me Mother, then let me teach you some things!"

The enormous demon used a rear naked choke to grip the giant beast's head with one hand, while raising its other fist high.

The aura surged once again!

The techniques he had learned from Rayleigh weeks earlier were executed flawlessly under the rising tide of anger.

A violent surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from his soul, covering his iron fist and engulfing the Ryuo, which should have been protected by armor. Dark lightning coiled upwards along the trajectory of his raised fist, raging wildly!

"Remember this: only domineering power reigns supreme!!!"

This single strike pierced through the stars!

Sakura's fist slammed into Sakura's beast head, and the overwhelming aura emanating from her penetrated all physical and magical defenses, directly striking her soul and will.

boom! ! !

The sudden, deafening roar seemed to shake the heavens and earth.

An unprecedentedly magnificent surge of energy erupted into the sky, tearing apart the dark clouds created by the Ark's Proverbs and scattering the serene moonlight across the earth.

This is what is meant by "Overlord's Haki Entanglement"!

Chapter 237 Outbreak, Kingdom of Death!

"For rebellious brats, I'm more inclined to use the rod and spoil the child!"

Snapped!

Sakura's stunned face was suddenly grabbed by a large hand, which held it tightly. Then, the Twilight Sword in Sakura's hand underwent a violent transformation, forming a trinity of Twilight Giant Axe.

Conqueror's Haki swirls and explodes!

The Heavenly Drum resounded, and terrifying power, accompanied by the steam of Boiling Release chakra, burst forth, mercilessly slashing down.

The technique that was once created for the right arm of the Pirate King has once again been fully revealed to the world.

—Axe Heaven Music!

A crimson rainbow descended from the sky, seemingly rising from the ground, easily tearing through the giant beast's scales and slashing a huge wound across its chest.

"Ugh—!"

Amidst the beast's screams, Riyo's eyes rolled back as she crashed to the ground, blood gushing out like a fountain, creating a rain of blood on Punk Hazard.

The entire island trembled violently, and the power that had been applied to control the land collapsed as Risaku fell into a coma.

The world began to tilt in one direction, islands crashed down, and a massive tsunami swept away the surrounding glaciers.

"Damn, that move is..."

Somaz, who had finally managed to crawl back to the island from the cataclysmic changes in the world, trembled when he saw the axe technique that cleaved the sea, and he remembered the battle in God Valley more than 30 years ago.

"Don't just stand there! The watchdog the boss left behind has been defeated!" Gillingham grabbed his arms and shook him. "You go and find a way to retrieve that clone weapon, and I'll go detonate Caesar Cullen's little toy. We absolutely cannot let this island fall into that guy's hands!"

"Oh...oh...ah?"

Distracted, Somaz suddenly realized what Gilingom had just said and wanted to go back to change the mission, but the other party had already disappeared.

After cursing, he could only urge the thorny wheels beneath his feet to hurry toward the center of the island.

A few minutes later, Sakura, who was in the very center of the island, let out a deep breath.

As the celestial phenomenon subsided, her body rapidly shrank.

"System, how many points were spent this time?"

[Please note that this celestial event will last for 4 minutes and 29 seconds. 440 achievement points will be deducted from your account.]

"Tsk, you've really only erased a tiny fraction of it!"

Sakura clicked her tongue, mentally grumbling about the shady merchant system.

After completing her daily task of criticizing the system, she lifted her foot and walked towards the unconscious Riyo in front of her.

Sakura, who had crashed to the ground and created a large crater, had completely lost consciousness. Her body began to shrink from a height of several hundred meters until it finally became a giant of more than twenty meters, lying in the desolate crater.

"Oh, what am I supposed to do with you?"

Sakura jumped onto Sakura's body, using the height difference to bend down and step on Sakura's chin, resting her elbows on her thighs.

Just as she took out the Cloud Shield and was gesturing at the other person, a flash of electricity suddenly appeared on the back of Ri Ying's neck, catching her attention.

Sliding down Sakura's collarbone to her neck, Sakura realized that the flashing electricity was from a control chip that was now in operation.

The noise was caused by an electrical leak due to a broken outer shell made by the sea stone coating process.

It seems the designers didn't consider that even Seastone could be damaged under repeated attacks from powerful beings.

"Hey, stay away from our big toy!"

With a sudden roar, Shepard Somaz, wielding a thorny mace, charged forward and slammed it down on Sakura.

Snapped!

The girl stretched out her five fingers and easily caught the thorny spiked club that Somaz swung.

Immediately, an aura of dominance flowed from his fingertips, and with a casual grasp, he crushed his creation of power into dust.

"Your abilities are mediocre, but your domineering aura is utterly pathetic. Who gave you the courage to attack me? Are you immortal?"

Sakura frowned, and with her hand still wielding the remaining force, she lifted Somaz up.

A burst of intense light erupted from his palm, and terrifying heat and flames radiated onto Somaz, burning him to a crisp.

"Aaaaaah! It's so hot! Ugh!"

The burning charcoal struggled in mid-air, letting out screams.

Even though Somaz, who was marked with the mark of Black Domination by the Celestial Dragons and descended to Punk Hazard through the pentagram, possessed an immortal body, the difference in raw strength meant that he was not even qualified to fight Sakura. At this point, his immortality would become his greatest torment.

"Tsk, what a hassle." Sakura clicked her tongue.

Use Somaz's body as a sledgehammer to smash the chip behind Riyo's neck, then throw him out.

To defeat this bizarre state of immortality, a higher level of Conqueror's Haki is needed, but unfortunately, Sakura doesn't yet know which direction to take next.

However, if a sealing technique is used, it will be resisted by the domineering aura that maintains self-integrity and repels all external forces.

So right now, Somaz is someone Sakura can't kill, can't get rid of, and can't seal away; he's just as annoying and troublesome as a cockroach.

"Ahem... Don't think you can take this island so easily! Sakura Haruno!"

Somaz, slowly recovering, gasped for breath, his pupils fixed on the girl's face. "Going against us, you're destined to perish along with this place. Hahahaha!"

Somazu's words gave Sakura a bad feeling, and a flash of inspiration crossed her mind.

Punk Hazard destroyed... Caesar Clown... Weapon of Mass Destruction - Death Realm.

"Oh no! Has Caesar Couran already developed poison gas?!"

Sakura grabbed Somaz by the back of his leg and dragged him toward the First Research Institute in the distance.

Meanwhile, inside the research institute's underground facilities.

Hastily using his trident to clear away the rubble blocking the road, Gillingam's hoofbeats echoed through the quiet corridor.

The researchers had all evacuated, and the institute was now in disarray. The power system, lacking maintenance, was also experiencing supply problems, and the lights were flickering intermittently.

According to Caesar Cullen's memories, which he had left on the top floor of the laboratory, the developed killing weapon was sealed in Room 13 of Zone R0.

Following the room signs down the corridor, Gillingham finally found the room completely sealed off by a metal door.

"This is it!"
